transcribed by q monk in the sixteenth
century. 1t could not bo matched to-

pages is study. Tho general lettering
is in German text, each letter perfect,
and every ono Of them in coal black ink,
without Il scratch OF Dlot from lid to lid.
At the beginning Of each chapter the
first letter IS very large, usually two or
thrco inches long, and is brightly

1t grows darker, until at 1902 Fahr. it

SCIENTIFIC.

The lecant communication of M. Fe-
lix liumbert and NJ. Henry in regard
to the method Of producing pure hydro.
gen, and Of making water gas at an ex.
tremely low cost, has caused a sensa-
tion all over Europe. The process con-
sists in causing small Jets Of steam to
impinge upon incandescent coke,
whereby, the car5on being In excess,
tho steam is decomposed into equal
volumes OF hydrogen and monoxide OF
carbon; and, further, III leading these
gases over large surface Of highly
heated refractory substance In presence
of fresh supply of superheated steam,
whereby tho burning of the carbon to
dlox!de Is effected and another volume
Of hydrogen is liberated. George G.
Andre asserts in the Colltery Guardian
that this process Is described In the pat
ents Of Jacquolain, Gaudin and Bou-
chain, taken out as early as 1854. The
authors OF the communication say that
ono ton OF coke produces about 10000
feet of gas, which is eleven times the
quantity OF u ton Of coal, which reduces
the cost Of the gas to q very low Dgure
very little, indeed. it may be sup
posed, above this cost OF natural gas,
when the difficulty Of controlling that
gas is taken into account.

~ Ghost ut tho Telephone.

/ heard a story not long ago or al
undertaken who was called up III Tho
night by u ring Which tho central Office
operator said was from ono Of tho great
cemeteries, and tho voico that called
him was SO strange that it mado him
shuddcr. 1t was wonderfully distinct,
and yet so slow, SO cold, and SO far
away, that it sounded like nothing elSo
that ho had ever heard. 1t uttered not
4 single word except IL long-drawn-out
"IIcl-lol Ucl-lo-o-ol Ucl-l-o-o-o-o-o!n
And tho moro ho shouted back, tho
moro that one ghostly call came over the
wiro to him. Dum-founded at last, ho
hung up his telephone and sat down,
but mcditatcd uncasily, while tho sound
still rang in his ear. Then he jumped
UP and rang for the central Office.
"Giye mo No." he called. That
was the cemetery. Presently ho had
tho connection. "Wcrc you calling me
just now!" lie asked. "Calling you?
Certainly not Haven't called tonight" !"
Then he abjurgated the central Office.
Certainly tho cemetery did ask for
you," said tho operator, tand made
the connection" Next night tho samo
callcamc, and the shuldering undertaken
heard tho same ghostly l-lo-o-o-o"
until he could hear it no longer. Then
the same colloQuy with tho cemetery
office and the central operator followed.
j am told that the undertaken grew
almost insane with the ghost call, as ho
soon began to regard it, and had the
telephone taken out Of his shop, TO the
great detrimcnt Of his trade, but that ho
aftcrward had it replaced, and, though
he has not since been called up by tho
voiccvfrom the other world. hc sits in
nightly dread Of it.
